Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


It's so good to see that you're happy,
Bright smile, a great guy, tell me, is he?
I can't wait to meet him.
You're doing great, beginning to cheer again,
You text me every now and then.
You're keeping distance and I understand.
'Cause on our final moment I left you,
A kiss that you still can't forget.
You handed me comfort and I simply waved goodbye...
So here I am owning up to my mistake,
Laying in the street with my heart for you to take.
And I return to January every single day.
It seems like walking away is just an excuse,
For not telling you what I really wanted to say.
I'd return to January, stop you and scream it all out loud.
I return to January every single day.
Lately, I've been staying in my bed,
Under covers, trying to get it out of my head.
That you found happiness and I didn't congratulate you.
Then all our memories come flooding back in,
You and I in my car with your hair blowing in the wind.
And how I should have told you the truth.
Now the tears come, silently descending from my green eyes to the floor,
You tried so hard but I still walked right out the door...
So here I am owning up to my mistake,
Laying in the street with my heart for you to take.
And I return to January every single day.
It seems like walking away is just an excuse,
For not telling you what I really wanted to say.
I'd return to January, stop you and scream it all out loud.
I return to January every single day.
I recall your soft lips, your angel voice, so beautiful, so perfect,
As you fell sound asleep on me, I liked it.
But I let you go that very minute.
Here we are fading to dust,
Maybe I could have saved us.
And if you came back, I promise I wouldn't let you go.
I'd have spoken up but it wouldn't have prevented the fight,
And now if you're forgetting me, it's alright...
But here I am owning up to my mistake,
Laying in the street with my heart for you to take.
And I return to January.
It seems like walking away is just an excuse,
For not telling you what I really wanted to say.
I'd return to January, stop you and scream it all out loud.
I'd return to January, stop you and make you so proud.
I return to January every single day.
Every single day...

Appreciate it so much! I might do a parody of "Blank Space" and "White Horse."

Really? I always try and take a memory of mine and do the original song justice. Thank you so much!

I think it's better than the actual song lyrics!
